In
a perfect world, you would not need an anti-virus product.
Of course there wouldn’t be any viruses either. In reality
people all over the world pay the consequences for new
viruses that attack computers and networks everyday. These
malicious programs are contracted through e-mail, instant
messenger, web surfing or even hidden as a Trojan within
another program. The virus spreads by copying itself within
executable code or in files and documents on your computer.
Ultimately viruses can be destructive or annoying but either
way they seriously put your computer and important files at
risk.
Symptoms of a
computer virus are decreased speed due to hogged resources,
lost or corrupted files, system crashing or formatted disk
drives. It is extremely important to research the best
anti-virus software program in order to protect your
computer, your files and consequently yourself.
Although we
have still not found a product in the anti-virus category
that stands out as a star, research into what is available
has proven McAfee’s VirusScan anti-virus to be the best on
the market.
McAfee’s
VirusScan is the premier anti-virus program to protect and
clean your PC from viruses. This program will identify
viruses before they can infect your computer through
real-time virus protection and prevent them from infecting
other PC’s. The software is no longer a scan & remove tool
but an effective real-time virus management program, with
constant real-time updates and a ‘Site Advisor’ tool that
identifies websites as threats while surfing the web. Site
Advisor will even show its site recommendation right beside
your search results if you use Google. McAfee VirusScan is
accompanied by great support as well, with 24/7 virus
monitoring and a live Internet chat support system that can
help you resolve virus problems 24 hrs a day.
There is
still room for improvement in the anti-virus arena but
VirusScan is the best offering of McAfee’s security
products. It is absolutely the best real-time anti-virus
software available currently although it is a bit of a bulky
download and uses more system resources than necessarily
ideal.
An anti-virus
program is a must for any PC owner that uses the Internet or
email.
McAfee VirusScan is the anti-virus product that
we use on our own
computers and recommend that you do so as well.
